Debt Retirement

In 2009, as previously disclosed, the Company restructured all of the Company's $374 million of debt with Wachovia Bank, National Association ("Wachovia"). In addition, subsequent to this restructuring, the Company paid down approximately $38 million of this debt during 2009, leaving a remaining balance outstanding of approximately $336 million. In 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Wachovia to retire all of the $335.6 million of outstanding debt for $176.2 million, representing 52.5% of the face amount of the debt.

The $335.6 million of indebtedness is comprised of $286.1 million of term debt and a $49.5 million working capital facility.  These were the outstanding balances in each facility at the time the parties began negotiations.  The Company can pay off the discounted outstanding amount at any time on or before May 31, 2010 and also has two consecutive 45 day extension options, which would extend the payoff date to August 27, 2010. The agreement provides the Company the ability to apply paydowns of the Wachovia facilities against the discounted payoff amount during the term of the agreement. The Company has made payments of $62.3 million towards the initial discounted payoff amount of $176.2 million, leaving $113.9 million payable to Wachovia under this agreement.  The closing of this agreement is subject to certain closing conditions and the Company's ability to obtain the necessary capital. The Company can make no assurances that it will be able to access sufficient capital on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company.

Also in 2009, as previously disclosed, the Company amended and restructured all of the Company's junior subordinated notes. In 2010, the Company retired $114.1 million of these junior subordinated notes in exchange for collateralized debt obligation bonds ("CDO bonds") and $10.5 million in cash.  The CDO bonds were comprised of securities issued by the Company and securities of other issuers with an aggregate face value of $67.3 million that the Company previously acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $22.2 million. Upon completion of this transaction, the Company had an outstanding balance of approximately $175.9 million.

In the first quarter of 2010, this transaction is expected to result in the Company recording approximately $65 million of additional CDO debt, of which approximately $42 million represents the portion of the Company's CDO bonds that were exchanged and approximately $23 million represents the estimated interest due on the bonds through their maturity, a reduction to securities available-for-sale of approximately $0.4 million representing the fair value of CDO bonds of other issuers, and a gain on extinguishment of debt of approximately $26 million.

Other Financing Activity

As of December 31, 2009, Arbor's financing facilities for its loan and investment portfolio totaled approximately $1.8 billion and borrowings outstanding under such facilities were $1.7 billion.

During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company reduced its outstanding warehouse and term debt balances by approximately $17.5 million through a combination of loan payoffs, assets being moved into the Company's CDO vehicles, and the monetization of certain investments. In addition, subsequent to 2009, the Company has further reduced these debt balances by approximately $45.9 million through a combination of loan payoffs and assets being moved into the Company's CDO vehicles.

The Company is subject to various financial covenants and restrictions by each of the Company's CDO and credit facilities. The Company believes that it was in compliance with all credit facility financial covenants and restrictions as of December 31, 2009 with the exception of a net worth covenant under the Wachovia facility. The Company has obtained a waiver of this covenant, as well as a waiver of the ratio of liabilities to net worth covenant, until the effective date of the debt retirement agreement with Wachovia described above.

Portfolio Activity

During the fourth quarter of 2009, Arbor purchased one AAA rated commercial mortgage-backed security at a discounted price of approximately $1.7 million with a face amount of $2.0 million.

Also, during the quarter, one loan paid off with an outstanding balance net of reserves of approximately $12 million, resulting in a $3 million loss and six loans had paydowns and reductions totaling approximately $40 million, of which $27 million was related to write downs on the restructuring of two loans. In addition, 10 loans were either refinanced or modified with Arbor totaling $282 million, of which seven loans totaling approximately $214 million were scheduled to repay during the quarter.

Additionally, two loans totaling approximately $66 million were extended during the quarter in accordance with the extension options of the corresponding loan agreements.

At December 31, 2009, the loan and investment portfolio unpaid principal balance, excluding loan loss reserves, was $2.1 billion, with a weighted average current interest pay rate of 4.95%. At the same date, advances on financing facilities pertaining to the loan and investment portfolio totaled approximately $1.7 billion, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.88% excluding financing costs, interest rate swap costs and changes in the market value of certain interest rate swaps.

As of December 31, 2009, Arbor's loan portfolio consisted of 35% fixed-rate and 65% variable rate loans.

During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company recorded $99.8 million in loan loss reserves related to 23 loans with a carrying value of approximately $618.3 million, before loan loss reserves. The loan loss reserves were the result of the Company's regular quarterly risk rating review process, which is based on several factors including current market conditions, real estate values and the operating status of each property. At December 31, 2009, the Company's total loan loss reserves were $326.3 million relating to 31 loans with an aggregate carrying value before reserves of approximately $693.5 million.

The Company had 13 non-performing loans with a carrying value of approximately $110.8 million, net of related loan loss reserves of $115.0 million as of December 31, 2009, compared to nine non-performing loans with a carrying value of approximately $96.9 million, net of related loan loss reserves of $101.0 million as of September 30, 2009. During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company received a discounted payoff on a $33.1 million non-performing loan, which resulted in a $21.0 million charge-off of previously recorded loan loss reserves and a $2.7 million loss on restructured loans during the quarter. Income recognition on non-performing loans has been suspended and will resume when the loans become contractually current and performance has recommenced.

In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company recorded $9.8 million of other-than-temporary impairment, in accordance with GAAP, associated with one of the Company's securities held-to-maturity, which was reclassified to securities available-for-sale during the quarter. This security represents a CDO bond security issued by another commercial mortgage REIT, which the Company exchanged in 2010 as part of the retirement of its junior subordinated notes. GAAP requires that, when a security is reclassified to securities available-for-sale, the security is recorded at its estimated fair market value and any decline in such value is recorded as other-than-temporary impairment.  

Management Fee

The Company's manager did not earn an incentive management fee for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Company prepaid approximately $7.3 million in incentive management fees to its manager in 2008 related to Prime, of which 50% was paid in cash and 50% was paid in the Company's common stock. In accordance with the management agreement, the prepaid management fee related to Prime is required to be repaid in two installments of 25% due by December 31, 2010 and 75% due by June 30, 2012, with an option to make either payment in cash and/or the Company's common stock, provided that at least 50% of the total payment is made in cash. As a result, this amount was reclassified to Due from Related Party. The $7.3 million prepaid management fee will be offset against any future incentive management fees or success-based payments earned by the Company's manager prior to June 30, 2012.

Dividend

Under the terms of the Company's debt agreements, annual dividends are limited to 100% of taxable income to common shareholders and are required to be paid in the form of the Company's stock to the maximum extent permissible (currently 90%), with the balance payable in cash.  The Company will be permitted to pay 100% of taxable income in cash if certain conditions are met. Based on the continued difficult economic environment, the Board of Directors has elected not to pay a common stock dividend for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.

Equity Participation Interests

Attached as an exhibit to this press release is a schedule of certain data pertaining to the Company's investments with equity participation interests. There were no new loans and investments originated during the quarter with equity participation interests.

    Given the magnitude and the deferral structure of the 450 West 33rd Street
    transaction combined with the change in the fair value of certain 
    derivative instruments, Arbor has elected to report adjusted book value 
    per share for the affected period to currently reflect the future impact 
    of the 450 West 33rd Street transaction on the Company's financial 
    condition as well as the evaluation of Arbor without the effects of 
    unrealized losses from certain of the Company's derivative instruments. 
    Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be an effective 
    indicator, for both management and investors, of Arbor’s financial 
    performance. Arbor’s management does not advocate that investors consider 
    this non-GAAP financial measure in isolation from, or as a substitute for,
    financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

    Arbor is presenting funds from operations, or FFO, because management 
    believes it to be an important supplemental measure of the Company’s 
    operating performance in that it is frequently used by analysts, investors
    and other parties in the evaluation of real estate investment trusts 
    (REITs).  The revised White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of 
    Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or
    NAREIT, in April 2002 defines FFO as net income (loss) attributable to 
    Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. (computed in accordance with generally accepted 
    accounting principles (GAAP)), excluding gains (losses) from sales of 
    depreciated real properties, plus real estate related depreciation and 
    amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and 
    joint ventures.  The Company considers gains and losses on the sales of 
    undepreciated real estate investments to be a normal part of its recurring
    operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be excluded 
    when calculating FFO.  To date, the Company has not sold any previously 
    depreciated operating properties, which would be excluded from the FFO 
    calculation.  Losses from discontinued operations are not excluded when 
    calculating FFO.
    
    FFO is not intended to be an indication of our cash flow from operating 
    activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) or a measure of our 
    liquidity, nor is it entirely indicative of funding our cash needs, 
    including our ability to make cash distributions.  Arbor’s calculation of 
    FFO may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, 
    therefore, comparability may be limited.
